What caused a scare in recent times among cows and has caused entire herds to be killed?
An outbreak of mad-cow disease in England wiped out most of the country's beef industry. A more recent outbreak of Hoof and Mouth disease was a lesser but still devestating plague. Even more recently an outbreak of BSE in Alberta caused an entire herd to be wiped out or put down, which ever way you want to put it, in 2003. A couple other cases had similar consequences, only to find the one or two cows confirmed with BSE were the only ones in that herd that were "humanely euthanized" that had the debilitating disease.
